"Let's clone them ala "The Lost World".

If we hurry, we could be marketing Mammoth's Wool sweaters by next fall.

It's hardly constructive, evolution has spoken; the mammoth is no more because it isn't suited for survival. Bringing it back plays dangerous games with the eco-system.

Your above statement is an oxymoron. You wish to support evolution, yet you support enviromental laws which go against evolution and protect animals and plants that would naturally go extinct.

If you want to be against science, fine. State it up front and be honest about it, but don't hide behind false reasons and lies.

You just want to decrease the quality of life for humanity.

Lol! I had a girlfriend once with frozen ovaries. She still sends a chill down my spine.

In more ways than one!

We should spend it on shopping malls and nuclear fusion instead.

The more nukes the better. And shopping malls, yeah.

I want one too... :)

Wonder if it can fit under a Christmas tree?

Only 5000 base-pairs to make a mitochondria? Wow.

I think they have it wrong. This reference says 16853 base pairs.

Why not bring back all of past history for our amusement? Life and the time goes on....and so does death (or reality, if you prefer)

Sorry, my reply was to post 30 BnBlFlag
